Search for "render" in the log-file Xorg.0.log. For the ATI XPRESS 200M
it says
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering broken on XPRESS 200 and 200M
I think the Xpress 1150 has the same problem. By the way, this is a PCIE
device, so no need for AGP.
May I call your attention to the ATI/AMD Radeon XPRESS 200M Linux Driver

If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing
yourself. Maybe this is the way to reach hardware vendors if they don't
ask their customers by them self like Dell did.
